what do you think of manti te'o's response? >> i think it was a question she had to ask, merely because it was in the vapors and a reasonable thing to ask. and the response seemed categorical and reasonable. that seems fine. with each question he answered, i ended up with many more questions than answers to help me understand what was going on. for instance, many times he planned to go meet her, but he made excuses why he couldn't go meet her in person. that's what we expect from people who are the hoaxsters. listen to the tapes. they are available online. it really sounds like a woman. it is incredibly compelling and emotional, but once again, what motivates the hoaxster to do this? to spend the time and energy to effectively abuse manti? ist very abusive, problematic? and why wouldn't he have the intuitive instinct to have a relationship with this woman rather than the vapors of the internet thing. >> it seems interesting that he wouldn't go meet her, if he was in love with her. regardless of the religion and whether it would
